Conservative, older eaters tend to fear the shrimp. Another cup of tea
then?

I like shrimp. I like it a lot and eat it frequently. When I was a teen
the stuff was very expensive and always frozen. The only two kinds
available were shelled and cooked or battered for deep frying. I loved
them. As it became more available in different modes and the price
dropped I started trying different ways of cooking it. I found that the
two old favourite styles lost their appeal and other styles were more
enjoyable. I think that my favourite is to marinate them in a oil and
lemon juice marinate with lots of garlic and some hot sauce and then
grill them on the BBQ. The next would be to saute along with garlic
and have it with pasta.

It's very easy to alter the texture of shrimp. I don't like that
shrimp looks like insects, to I grind them and make shrimp
patties/cakes.

They get a lot larger. It's a wonderful fish but hopefully, it won't get popular. That always causes trouble for us.

I can understand your aversion to shrimp. They're sort of like cockroaches that decided to live in the water. This rock is crazy for shrimp. I don't know why it's so popular. Typically, it's cooked up with the shell and sometimes the head still on. Some folks find that pretty repulsive.

Americans don't eat 'fish and chips' much, at least on the mainland.
Fishsticks which you seem to relate the the mainland, are a think of
the past to mostly see inland (we didnt have the shippage of today).

You seem to be reading some sort of statistics from 1950 (nearly 70
years ago) and mixing-matching them with other outdated data to equate
mainland people with 'fish sticks made of tilapia'.

Well, it was a blanket statement. They never apply to individual cases

Is that tilapia or another fish that could cause you problems?

We are not unusual for our area with 3 of 7 dinner meals being seafood
based. We'd also be normal in Hawaii with that I think. Salmon only
when the good whole ones come in (red and whole only here).

14 meals (lunch and dinner). 7 of the 14 are seafood based though may
have other bits and pieces of pork or chicken added. Add 1 Chicken, 2
pork and the rest are vegetarian with the rare 1 meal of beef taking
place of seafood.

7+3+4=14 (occasionally swap any of them out for a beef meal).

Tonights dinner was buttered goatfish in curry butter on rice with
sides of nothing spectacular veggies (asian versions but American not
that different and would be brocolli stems, zucinni, halved pears in
the steamer with a little cinnomon on the pears).

ds1 is a good guy, but he's not in touch with the mainland.

The only smoked oysters I ever had were from a tin. I can say they
tasted OK, but were about as rubbery as it gets, second only to the
octopus I've (tried) to eat. I don't know if all tinned oysters are this
bad, because I didn't try them again.

I love oysters, Both fried, and even raw. I loved them when I was very
young, and I still do at old age. I wish I had a platter of them in
front of me right now

I like shrimp too, but I agree that they often don't have a very
pronounced taste. It is very faint, and easy to cover up with too many
condiments, or herbs in the breading if fried.

Add whole Flounder here as it's sustainable and carefully fished in
local waters. Croppy as well.

Octopus is a very underestimated meat. I like it better than beef or
pork. Of course, you can cook it wrong and ruin it, but that applies
to everything.

I guess shrimp are the tiny ones, whereas prawns, as I know them in
Australia, are the size of a finger at least. They have lots of
flavour.

The subject was fish, but Popeye's personality development stalled at
the oral and anal phases as described by Freud.

He does have a gigantic Ego, but nonexistent superego and zero Id.

He is unlikely to develop a personality, even with extensive therapy.

croppy in British
noun plural -pies
a person with cropped hair

I don't think you mean that. A croppy is a fish?

I like Opah too. We get it wild caught here since it is also Atlantic
fish.

I love shrimp. I don't really understand what there is to dislike about
them. I have thought that if I was limited to one type of flesh for the
rest of my life, shrimp could easily be the one I would choose.

You need to find a more reputable site for starters and I posted some
already.

You are the one dissing Americans. It is for you to figure out why so
many are telling you that you are wrong. You keep insinuating we make
'fish and chips' from Tilapia for example. I do not know why but it's
set in your mind. Replies show you Tilapia is not anything any of us
eat regluar and also, we aren't eating UK 'Fish and Chips'.

I think what you really do not get, is how big and diverse the USA is.
For every 100 unique things in Hawaii, there are 1,000 unique things in
the rest of the USA. Your place is important, but not the only one.

What Hawaii has as a food thing is a unique fusion of Japan, China,
Philippenes, a little Spanish and European in your own mix.

What you lack utterly is African, middle eastern, Native American,
Scandinavian. Demmark and India.

It is my understanding that a lot of kids in my generation ate a lot of fish sticks growing up. I doubt kids still eat a lot of fish sticks but it's still being sold in the freezer section of stores and there's a lot of selection. It's still a major player.

Tilapia is not being sold as fish sticks. I've never said that. Most folks eat tilapia as fillets. You need to get your facts straight. You seem so out of whack that you'll never sail true.

People eating all the tilapia they can stuff down their gullet is a good thing. The problem would be if opah got popular on the mainland. That could cause problem with over-fishing. That would be a bad thing - unless you're talking about over-fishing tilapia. I hate tilapia!

Danish cuisine is a new concept to me. I could almost have believed
that Danes don't eat.

I've also never had a native American dish. Would that be wild rice
and buffalo chops, for instance?

My guess is that a lot of people are turned off by their looks. I can't blame them for that. I like shrimps and prawns that come with the heads and shell still on. I think it's more fun. Those guys in LA that love to suck the head of mud bugs must think so too.

I don't dislike them, but they have little taste themselves. For me, it
is more of a "why bother" than anything. Perhaps some wild caught are
still ok, but most are farmed today and tasteless.

I will agree with you there. There are places on the mainland that excel at mixing up those influences. The local chefs have to be familiar with Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Portuguese, and American, styles of cooking.. They have a lot on their plate of knowledge. One day, a cook from another place will come here and teach us of new foods, people, and cultures, that we will embrace.

That was a very informative post.

Grin, New England for ya!

Actually, if I have the straight of it, NE cookery as well as Eastern
Canada, has always been a bit closer to UK cookery in some ways right?
At least a basic root that matches although they have diverged in many
ways over time. Just 'not as much diverged' it seemed as New Orleans,
or Georgia??

We are a big place.

Best Pizza ever? Oskaloossa Iowa! Hands down. Best Chinese Kung Pao?
Bremerton Washington. Best Beef stew? Halifax. Halifax was the first
time I saw Fish-n-Chips on a menu and it came with bottled vinegar to
sprinkle it with (how odd that seemed, but i tried it and it was ok
though I had tartar sauce with most of the rest of it).

I've had Walleye a few times and liked it. I used to get that in San
Antonio TX. It was lighty coated in a flour dip with fairly mild
seasonings and served with lime.

It was 'gamey' in a good way over the local trout I grew up on. I have
a spice I get now that reminds me of that taste. Bohemian Euorpean mix
(Savory Spice Shop is the source).
